It's Gonna B Big

[mwscooters]

Wanted a monster truck for awhile now. Couldn't decide on a Clod Buster or TXT. Both didn't really offer anything in the handling dept so I thought why not make one from a Honcho kit. Picked up the Kit yesterday and added Wraith shocks for height and 2.2 Imex ALL-T tires. Looking good so far, body is coming. Come on Fed-ex getting antsy. Test run with 20t went pretty well, Nice speed and torque off the line.

Coke can for size reference.


Four Linked


Wriath shocks with 1/4 spacers so they don't rub the frame.



Right the Beast-Left 1.9 rig



TRAXXAS 20T Stinger motor



side by side



RPM Revolver rims, Imex ALL-T 2.2 tires

i had my scx10 set up with savage shocks and an ax10 chassis mounted under it and 2.2s


the book is over 1000 pages.... it was huge an a lot of fun when it was set up like that

Its a beast. Looking at that driveline angle and stock shafts id say a big upgrade is needed

[Twiztid Metal]

Looks Mean!!! and GOOD!

But you may want to get a differant motor, that 20T stinger motor is gona burn up in no time...

Find a good 27t rebuildable brushed motor, like a Trinity, Orion. check ebay for a good used one,


But I think you may of just given me an Idea about my Honcho....

Putting some Long Drive shafts on made for the Wraith, just waiting for them to show up. Drive angle really isn't that bad, it's still super smooth.

I just ment the angle on the stock plastic ears lol. The angle isn't bad for good shafts. But once again, its a beast lol

Gotcha, Thanks

With donor body till the real one shows up. Man this thing hauls, blast to drive.

[Crawl Wonder]

That thing is huge! It looks awesome though! We just need to see it crushing little matchbox cars now.

have you switched up the spur/pinion after installing the IMEX's?

Nope, stock seems to work really well.

Makes my Wraith look small even.

[droppedls4dr]

thats a huuuggeee bitch

[Rook82]

That's just wrong!

















Wrong that it is not mine, I love it

[mwscooters]

Checked Fed-ex, body should be here today. I'll post picks later.

Thanks for all the comments, I know it's not a crawler but it is pretty cool.

there is so much of the same thing on here, it is nice to see something a little out of the box at times. If anyone says "tires are too big, looks unscale, etc" F-em. Not that anyone has in this thread yet, but it usually happens. Sometimes people get caught up in the "have to do what is normal, or the popular thing" and forget that this hobby is about creating a rig you like and is individual. And having fun with it. I have a feeling you will see more like your rig soon. I have seen a few rigs popping up like this. None with tires quite this large. What is the measurements on those anyway? And nice job on the fender trimming. Very neat, clean and looks like it belongs. That is not easy to do and not have it look hack.

how fast do you think it is with the stock setup.

I here ya, it doesn't always have to be scale! I love 2.2 tires on my rigs. They measure 5.75 inches tall by 2.5 wide. Thanks for the comment on the body trimming. I know it isn't easy for some people so how ever it turns out be happy with it, but I do like mine to look as neat as possible.

It isn't stock(not trying to be a jackass), It has a 20T motor in it. Never tried a 27T motor. It probably only goes 10 mph but seems fast. Just as fast as a stock Wraith.
